The Wood Between The Worlds

I was standing in the Wood Between The Worlds

Pondering which pool to step into next

I had just come from ancient Babylon

Where I helped them invent written text

I thought I might visit the Vikings then

And teach them to forge carbon steel

Or see if folks around the Black Lake

Had up and discovered the wheel

In the Wood Between The Worlds

You can step into anywhere

Each pool is a different place you're hurled

It's the magic forest to everywhere

I was looking in on the Basque whalers

In fourteenth century Labrador

A band of murdering Beothuk

Had me scurrying for the door

As long as you remember where you got in

The cave, or the closet or nook

You’re good to get back to the Wood Between The Worlds

You just have to know where to look

The Irish monks in Illinois

Teaching the Indians to build mounds

The Fair Isle of Atlantis

Nowhere is out of bounds

Not only worlds remembered

But worlds never heard of yet

Step in a pool and discover a place

Where Einstein and Newton just met

In the Wood Between The Worlds

You can step into anywhere

Each pool is a different place you're hurled

It's the magic forest to everywhere
